Cdi Torque TCQJRXSM16A Flare Nut Torque Wrench Head 16MM

Product Description

The CDI TORQUE TCQJRXSM16A is a 16 MM metric flare nut torque wrench head designed for precise torque application on flare-style fittings. The J-type shank measures 0.425 inches and mates with compatible torque wrench handles to deliver controlled fastening up to 60 ft-lb. The 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding and improves grip on hex fittings. At 0.14 pounds, this head is lightweight and sized for access in confined spaces. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics use this head when torquing flare nut connections on refrigerant lines, fuel lines, and hydraulic fittings where consistent, verified torque is required.

This torque wrench head is suited for residential and light commercial service work involving metric flare nut fittings. Common applications include refrigerant line set connections, hydronic heating fittings, and fuel line assemblies where flare nut geometry is standard. The metric 16 MM sizing targets fittings found on mid-range copper and steel line sets. The head accepts a J-type shank drive, matching it to CDI and other compatible torque handle platforms designed for interchangeable heads.

Key Features

• 16 MM flare nut opening for metric fittings on refrigerant and fuel lines

Compatibility

Designed for use with torque wrench handles that accept a J-type interchangeable shank. Verify shank diameter compatibility with your torque handle before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, plumber, or refrigeration mechanic familiar with torque specifications for the fitting being serviced. Ensure the system is de-pressurized and all refrigerant or fluid flow is isolated before loosening or tightening any flare nut connection. Seat the wrench head fully on the fitting before applying torque to avoid rounding the nut. Always verify the torque handle is calibrated and set to the fastener manufacturer's required torque value before use.
